Phonemes and Allophones, Part 1

With all the sounds we can make with our mouths, how do we know which ones are important for our language? This week, The Ling Space takes a look at phonemes, the basic sounds of language, and how we can identify them, how we tell them apart, and how our brains react to them.

This is Topic #4!
